Chapter 286: Northern Frontier's Request
Chapter 286 Northern Frontier Requirements
He knew in his heart that the emperor must have felt embarrassed because of what the national teacher said, but he didn't dare to go up and interject, because if he stepped forward at this time, he was likely to be used by the emperor as a target to change the topic.
Qingyuan stared at Liu Rumo, who had already lowered his head to annotate the notebook, for a long time, as if he had finally adjusted his feelings, and then picked up his pen and opened the notebook that he had not finished, and also lowered his head.
After a while, the playbook was approved by the two of them, Liu Rumo motioned to the tips of his ears to put the playbook in order, and he slowly got up and straightened his sleeves, ready to leave, but was stopped by Qingyuan.
"Wait, National Teacher!"
After Liu Rumo stopped, he turned around, "What else does the emperor command?" ”
The tip of his ear was burying his head in packing up the notebook, and at this time, he noticed the movement and raised his head, Qingyuan swept over with a glance, and instructed him: "After packing up, go down first, don't wait for the time being!" ”
The tip of the ear immediately understood what the emperor meant, there was something to talk about with the national teacher, so he quickly packed up his hands and feet and retreated.
After the tips of his ears withdrew, Qing Yuan got up and walked down the steps, came to Liu Rumo and stood still, lowered his voice and asked her, "Is Liu Yun's disappearance under your control?" ”
"Why would the emperor ask that?" Liu Rumo looked back at him with a smile for some reason, his gaze so clear that Qingyuan couldn't see anything else.
"I sent someone out to look for Liu Yun, and I haven't heard anything for days. I'm worried about him! ”
"The emperor cares so much about his brother, and the minister thanked the emperor on his behalf, but the minister is also looking for Brother Yun's whereabouts, and if he can get the emperor's help, the minister thinks he should be able to find him soon!" Liu Rumo still replied unhurriedly.
Qingyuan wanted to say something, but after a pause, his eyes rolled, and he changed his words again, "I see that the national teacher is still abiding by his duties these days, and he has no time to look for Liu Yun. That's why I was thinking. Is it that these political affairs have delayed the national teacher from going out to find Liu Yun, if-"
"The emperor must not say this, Brother Yun is missing, and the ministers will send someone to look for it. But the minister is well aware of his duty. We will never abandon the public for personal reasons. If the emperor is really sympathetic to the ministers, he may wish to share more political affairs, so that the ministers can complete the things within their duties as soon as possible. Go out and find Brother Yun's whereabouts together. ”
Liu Rumo once again successfully brought the topic back to Qingyuan, and mentioned his lazy behavior by the way, Qingyuan shut up stupidly, and finally could only respond, saying that he would do his best to deal with the day's script, so that she could have time to find someone.
Out of the Qinzheng Palace, Liu Rumo stood on the steps, looking at the sunset in the distance falling on the branches, the twilight stained the sky, making the entire western sky red, the light of the sunset projected towards her, although it was much milder than the noon sun, but it still forced her to squint.
At this moment, Liu Rumo's thoughts in her heart are complicated, Qingyuan would be so unmotivated, she never thought of it, although she had long known that he was no longer the Ning Yuan she knew at the beginning, but now she feels more and more that such Qingyuan is very much like the original prince, although it is not to the point of not doing his job, but he can't describe him with diligence and wisdom.
Since Qingyuan ascended the throne, she has arranged a qiē for him step by step according to the entrustment of Emperor Qing, she doesn't know if she has handled everything almost by herself, so she makes Qingyuan feel that she doesn't need to exert too much effort, so she will be so slack, today when she saw Qingyuan sitting behind the imperial case and napping, and the book was messed up, she was really a little angry, but after thinking about it, she suppressed the anger that had just risen, and once again told herself in her heart to understand her identity, How can a courtier go down to the ground and say that the emperor is not?
Chen Guo is still eyeing the tiger, if it weren't for their own ability not being strong enough, how could they not stand still until now?
If she is the emperor of Chenguo, when the new emperor of Qingguo ascends the throne and the power is not stable enough, it must be the best time to attack, Qingguo in this period is in the run-in period between the new emperor and the old ministers, there will definitely be many contradictions, and many contradictions are likely not to be revealed, but they will be easily used, so choosing this time must be the most effective period.
It's a pity that the strength of Chen Guo is not enough
This is what she is glad about now, and what she is worried about, is glad that even if Chen Guo has the ambition to swallow Qingguo now, she can't do it because of her lack of strength, but what she is worried about is the same, Northern Xinjiang has experienced a turmoil before, and I don't know if the situation has stabilized, this time since the toxin in the Spring Painting Institute has also involved Northern Xinjiang, she will start to think, if the political situation in Northern Xinjiang has stabilized, Chen Guo has a way to pull Northern Xinjiang into the camp, It is very likely that Qingguo will face the situation of being surrounded by both of them and attacking at the same time, and at that time, Qingguo may not be able to resist the combined force of the two.
In such a grim situation, Qingyuan still has the leisure to take a nap, and she is so slack in government affairs, how can she not be angry and worried?
And another point is that Qing Yuan's words today seem to be testing her, presumably he also guessed that Brother Yun might be safe and hidden somewhere by her, in fact, he would not think of her strangely, at that time he decided to hand over Brother Yun to Ye Wutao to hide, just to make all the people who coveted the Liu clan start to guess in various ways, what Qing Yuan can think of, An Zhiyu may not be unexpected, others may also think that as long as she has a stable attitude here, Brother Yun has always been in a situation of being robbed and missing, under the random conjecture of those people, She only needs to control the news here, and it is very easy to achieve the effect she wants.
"Childe, there's movement over there in the northern Xinjiang!"
Nanshu hurriedly ran in and handed a letter to Qingli.
Qingli opened it and looked at it, and it was written: "Chen Guo intends to cooperate, I hope that the prince will return quickly!" ”
He guessed right, Chen Guo recently heard that there was a lot of movement, and An Zhiyu even transferred the people who were planted in Qingguo to find Liu Yun's whereabouts, and he didn't seem to be worried that the true identities of those people would be discovered, so he thought that maybe An Zhiyu had shifted his focus, so it became less important for these people to continue to hide their identities.
Sure enough, the letter from the northern Xinjiang side today verified his idea, and it seems that Chenguo will not give up such a good opportunity, so he plans to cooperate with the northern Xinjiang to annex the fat of Qingguo together.
But they would not have expected that after the turmoil in Northern Xinjiang, although the political situation has stabilized, the person who really holds power has become him, or rather, he slowly received the power into his own hands, so Chen Guo wants to cooperate with Northern Xinjiang, and the decision is in his hands.
Liu Rumo is in that position, if there is a crisis in Qingguo, she will definitely stand on the same front with Qingyuan to face the enemy together, so Qingguo cannot have any crisis for the time being.
But he didn't want to give up the opportunity to cooperate with Chenguo so lightly, maybe, what could he do with the sincerity of Chenguo's cooperation?
Qingli took a clean piece of paper, wrote the letter neatly, sealed it and handed it to Nanshu: "Send this letter back as much as possible, and they will know what to do!" ”
"Yes, Childe!" Nanshu took the letter and trotted out again.
Qingli agreed to Chenguo's invitation to cooperate in the letter, but there was one requirement, that is, the king of northern Xinjiang was very interested in Liu Rumo, the new national teacher, so even if he agreed to cooperate with Chenguo, Liu Rumo would be left to them in northern Xinjiang.
This is what he said in the letter, to deal with the unpredictable situation in the future, and when the time comes, he can protect Liu Rumo and make Chen Guo unable to touch her.
After the reply letter from the north arrived at the palace of Chenguo, An Zhiyu received an edict from the emperor, asking him to enter the palace immediately for an audience and discuss important matters.
When the emperor showed An Zhiyu's reply from Beijiang, An Zhiyu pondered for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we should agree to Beijiang's request now, even if we succeed in taking Qingguo in the future, we will also hand over Liu Rumo to Beijiang!" ”
"What does An Qing mean to let me give Liu Rumo to others? An Qing didn't try to ask for Liu Rumo to be taken back to our country before, why did he persuade me to give up Liu Rumo now? ”
An Zhiyu returned the letter to the emperor with both hands, and explained: "The emperor is not in a hurry, this is just an expedient measure, at present, our country's strength is not enough to take Qingguo, so we must rely on the help of northern Xinjiang, so at this time we are still restrained by northern Xinjiang, temporarily agree to this condition, and promise to leave Liu Rumo to them after the completion of the northern Xinjiang, this is the premise of cooperation between our two countries, and after taking Qingguo, the emperor can take Qingguo for himself, and then unite the forces of Qingguo that has been annexed to counterattack northern Xinjiang, When the time comes, whether to leave Liu Rumo or not, isn't it up to the emperor to decide for himself? ”
An Zhiyu's explanation seemed to persuade the emperor, he thought about it, and finally agreed to temporarily meet the requirements of the northern Xinjiang, and now he has to win over the alliance first, right?
The quality of the horses in Northern Xinjiang is very good, if they cooperate with Northern Xinjiang, they can exchange for horses in Northern Xinjiang as war horses, which is definitely an important help for them to attack Qingguo, and in addition, Northern Xinjiang is much farther away from Qingguo than their Chen Kingdom, so when Northern Xinjiang sends troops to the alliance, and then captures Qingguo, it will definitely consume a lot of their soldiers' strength, and at that time, it should be much easier to counterattack Northern Xinjiang.
Northern Xinjiang has gone through turmoil, in fact, the strength is far less than back then, but as the saying goes, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if the northern Xinjiang is not good, it also has its own unique strong horses and rich materials, which one is more lacking in their Chen country, and being able to win them over is the way they must take to attack Qingguo.
